The�wiper�motor�is�a�12 V�motor�with�a�transmission.�The�control�unit,�the�wiper�motor�and�the
transmission�form�one�replaceable�unit.�This�wiper�motor�unit�comprises:
• A�permanent�magnet,�direct�current�motor�with�attached�reduction�gear
• Control�unit�electronics�with�eccentric�shaft�sensor�and�suppressor�components�with
attached�plug�connection
The�control�unit�in�the�wiper�motor�is�able�to�identify�the�following�faults:
• Faults�in�the�control�unit�electronics
• Short�circuits�at�the�motor�and�sensor�system
• Open�lines�at�the�motor�and�sensor�system
The�control�unit�in�the�wiper�motor�does�not�have�a�fault�memory.�The�fault�code�entry�is�stored�in�the
Body�Domain�Controller�(BDC).
The�heated�washer�jets�are�activated�by�the�Body�Domain�Controller.
The�Body�Domain�Controller�is�also�responsible�for�activation�of�the�windscreen�washer�pump�and
evaluation�of�the�washer�fluid�level�switch.
